Self-Care Won’t Save You: Systemic Stressors Students Experienced As Harbingers of Long-term Burn-Out | NASW-NYS Chapter Chats
Presented by: Melanie Sonsteng-Person, MSW, Ph.D, and Steve Burghardt, M.S.W., Ph.D from the Social Work Equity Campaign (SWEC)
Join us for a Chapter Chat about toxic workplace and internship environments, and how they impact social workers as individuals and professionals. This conversation will be led by the Social Worker Equity Campaign (SWEC), an advocacy group with a mission to foster equity, unity, and action among the social work workforce. This presentation will focus on the firsthand trauma and secondary traumatic stress that can be experienced in field education, and will end with policy and programmatic recommendations from SWEC for social work education and the profession at large.
Chapter Chats initially emerged out of a need to socially connect social workers while practicing physical distancing. They have grown into an accessible and easy way for social workers to share resources, network, and engage with one another across the State and Nation.
These are conversations hosted by social workers, for social workers. Open to all who would like to attend, and any NASW member is invited to host a topic or conversation!
Please be informed that Chapter Chats do not offer continuing education credit, rather are an accessible and easy way for social workers to share resources, network, and engage with one another across the State and Nation.
